Does this unit put off much heat? Thanks, Mike

It's been working well for me running 24/7. It throws some heat but it's only around 75 degree's, maybe 80 at the maximum. I run an A/C in the same room so it's no problem for me. I'm very satisfied with it, just a word of caution though if you don't want to run it 24 hours a day, then you may want to run it on a timer, it's built in timer function doesn't seem to be well thought out. Hope this helps.

I use mine in a basement and it works fine. I've not noticed excessive heat production during the past several months. :-)

yes it does, air input temp is about 68 and output is 78, I have mine in the basement and it gets the water out quite well.

I really don't think its that bad. I have owned several units and this is similar to previous models.

Hi Mike, I haven't had mine for very long and I was supprised at the heat. It is a dry heat which actually wasn't bad. My mom had a de humidifier when I was growing up and I don't remember a lot of heat coming out of hers. So yes, there is more heat than I expected but I am pleased with the product.

It does have a full off setting ..... but ..... if the ambient room temp drops low enough it will occasionally energize. I agree with GuitarChaser. If you want the unit to last blow down the heat elements at least once a year, a bit more frequently if in a dusty environment. It'll make the elements thrive or ...... at least last a reasonably long length of time.

Hi Carol, it doesn't put out a lot of heat. That is a dissapointment for us, also it has a funny odor when it's burning thought it would stop after a couple times of using it. We've used it about 6 times over the summer.

The unit itself does not get hot but the air that blows out does and that depends on the temperature you set it at. So if using with small children keep temp. At a low number. Hope this helps it is a great heater and I liked the first one so well I got a second.

Yes, when turned all the way up it gives off plenty of heat, very nice unit and great quality.

No. I was very disappointed that when the unit is turned off that it goes back to the default temp of 75 degrees. In addition, it seemed to overheat.

I'm sitting here in my room writing this while the unit is on, and I'm cooling down after sweltering in 90+ degree heat that the rest of the house is melting in. So, I'd say the unit is very efficient. This is my second summer with it and it hasn't disappointed me yet.

No infarred heat. It throws out very little heat but I am in Florida and rarely need heat.

Ive used the unit several times, and for a good/long amount of time each use. So far I have not had any overheating issues.

No, which I consider a good thing. If you want it turned off then you need to turn it off, otherwise it produces heat (which what is supposed to do).

There is no noticeable heat generated from the BlueAir 603. I have two units and have used them for several years. The unit is one of the quietest on the market and performs very well. It is a large unit however it can cover a large room and do so without any significant intrusion due to fan noise. Overall a great unit and no part of it generates heat.

It really doesn't put out any heat - the transformer is the only heat source. Ice actually forms on the unit itself if the conditions are right. I'm very happy with this - I use it in a trailer, and I'm constantly emptying it.

Nancy-Mind you I am not an engineer, just a consumer; it means that the heat flow is regulared electronically to provide warmth in incriments of two degrees ( I think that 2 degrees is right) and that the unit measures the termperature in the room and then modulates only exactly as much energy (gas) as it needs to keep that room at the temperature you set. So it uses very little energy to do it's job and keeps it at a great level vs blasting you with a lot of hot air to bring the temperature up. Mine has been in for a year and it is wonderful. I did pay a professional to install it in NJ in a 20 by 17 by 9 ft high space with two windows and a door. It is perfectly toasty, my gas bill is very low (due to the modulation) and the unit is so quiet. I previously had electric base board heat that was making it too hot or cold and the electic bill was unreal. This Rinnai also warms the room up in a matter of minutes from a cold start. One of the best things we ever did. I was skeptical of ordering a furnace on amazon, but it worked great, all parts arrived intact. The unit has very good instructions should you want to try install yourself. The direct vent is also the only way to go in my opinion. My room is insulated but overly so for this area of NJ. I paid about 450.00 to have the unit installed. I rarely, never write reviews but am so pleased with the success of this Rinnai that I am happy to answer your question. I hope this infomation is hellpful.

Not very noticeable. I was pleased. Much quieter than other heaters. Don't hesitate buying this unit. Great price, nice looking, nice to have a remote control with it.

Good question! My unit has been running non-stop for at least 3 months. I just checked it for any trace of heat and there is none whatsoever, either on the unit itself, or in the air coming out, which is relatively cool. I have not owned the unit during a hot season, though, nor do I live in an area that normally gets extremely hot for long periods of time. (I live high in the mountains of Colorado where most people don't even have air conditioning.) Still, I believe that this unit won't contribute additional heat to your room.

I have been using mine in a dormitory for six months and it puts off almost no heat. If there is adequate air movement, you should have virtually no excess heat.

It doesn't produce heat.There is actually a cool refreshing breeze that flows out of the front of the unit.
